Plus one essential ingredient being the Rice Papers. You can buy these in most Asian food stores and have also become a popular stocked item at local grocery stores/supermarket.

INSTRUCTIONS

Fill a bowl larger than the size of the rice paper with lukewarm water

Dip the rice paper into the bowl and leave for about 5 seconds or until it begins to soften. You don’t want it to soften too much otherwise it will break whilst rolling.

Fold in the edges first, then fold the end closest to you over the filling and continue to roll upwards.
